Indulge in Wine Tasting

Your dad surely has some impeccable taste, so why not take his tastebuds on a trip to flavour heaven by organizing a round of wine tasting for him. Learn the art of wine tasting from him as he soaks in the fragrance of various wines and sips on each one of them enchantedly.

If you happen to be around the city of Nashik or Channapatna located about 60 km from Bangalore you are in for an absolute treat, with lush green vineyards in these locations.

Visit an NGO

You and your father have done a lot for each other over the years, take out time on this Father’s day to do something for others along with your dad. Visit an orphanage, old age home or even a hospital where you can spend some time with people, spread some love and distribute basic supplies that would help them in their daily lives.

There are NGOs in all cities of India, so pick the cause of your choice and simply plan your day.

Grab a Bite

You probably go out for family lunches and dinners all the time, but how about enjoying a hearty meal with just your dad over a few drinks and endless conversation. Get to know him a little better, you have no idea how much a little quality time can impact someone!

If you’re in Bangalore take your dad for a wonderful dinner to Rim Naam at the Oberoi or if he’s in the mood for something a little different then try Cafe Lota in New Delhi.

Take a Walk

Spending time with your dad doesn’t necessarily have to include something over the top! Enjoy the simplicity of life with your dad this Father’s Day as you take a stroll with him and share your little secrets with him and get to know his too.

If you live in Mumbai, take a walk down the Marine Drive and if you happen to live in the beautiful city of Chandigarh, stroll along the picturesque Sukhna Lake.
